Patent CA-2105268-C (CA)
Title: Resynchronization of asynchronous transfer mode (atm) switch fabric
Inventor: MERCHANT SHAHRUKH S
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1993-08-31
Granted: 1999-07-13
Abstract: In a duplicate active-standby memory unit arrangement, a resynchronization initiation determination is made on a cell-interval-by- cell-interval basis based on the equality of cell contents of corresponding queues in the active and standby memory units. If an inequality of the cell contents of the correspondingqueues in the active and standby memory units occurs during any cell interval, resynchronization may be initiated.  In an embodiment, the lengths of data in corresponding queues, i.e., the number of cells stored in the corresponding queues, in the active and standby memory units are compared on a cell-interval-by-cell-interval basis. If the number of cells stored in any of the queues is different than the number of cells its corresponding queue in the other of the memory units during any cell interval, resynchronization of the memory units is initiated. In another embodiment of the invention, the outputs of corresponding queues in the active memory unit and the standby memory unit are compared on a cell-interval-by-cell-interval basis. If the results of the comparison indicates that any one or more of the queue outputs in one of the memory units is different from the output of the corresponding queue in the other memory unit, resynchronization is initiated. Robustness of the latter comparison algorithm is enchanced by restricting the comparisons to cell intervals during which the queue outputs in the active and standby memory units do not both include idle cells. Additionally, robustness of the resynchronization initiation is further enhanced by simultaneously employing both the comparison of cell length in the queues and the comparison of the queue output contents to detect when to initiate resynchronization.

Abstract: In a circuit arrangement for correcting phase errors of P-channel and Q-channel baseband signals of a QPSK signal, input registers are provided corresponding respectively to possible bit patterns which the unique words of the P-channel and Q-channel baseband signals may assume. Each input register stores 2N bits of incoming unique words of the P- and Q-channel signals. Reference registers corresponding to the possible bit patterns are provided for individually storing 2N bits of a corresponding one of the possible bit patterns. Mismatches between the bits stored in each input register and the corresponding reference register are detected and compared with thresholds to produce a phase error correcting signal. In response, the connecting paths of the P- and Q-channel baseband signals to output terminals are controlled and bit reversals are effected on the P- and Q-channel baseband signals.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracking participation in a conference call is disclosed. A conference tracker at a first location transmits a status signal to another conference tracker at a second location. The conference tracker at the second location receives the status signal and recognizes it as representative of an attribute of one or more of the parties at the first location. The attribute represented may be the identity of the first location, thereby informing the conference tracker at the second location that the first location remains connected to the conference call. In this manner, the conference tracker may inform a party of the number of connected locations or that a particular location has disconnected. The attribute represented may be the listening party of the location of the speaking party. The attribute represented may be the identity of the speaking party, thereby enabling the conference tracker at the second location to determine which party is speaking. Status signals transmitted by each conference tracker may comprise audio pulses of unique frequencies, thereby enabling each conference tracker to determine the origin of each status signal. Consecutive pulses may be used to identify a particular status (e.g., connected or speaking).

Abstract: The application concerns an improved method of producing silico-alumino-phospate catalysts for the conversion of methanol into light olefins such as ethylene and propylene (the MTO reaction). The improved method of synthesis can be used to control chemical composition of the silico-alumino-phosphates, especially the silicon content. In particular, it was found that catalysts can be synthesized that are more stable to deactivation by "coking", which is very important for the design of an MTO process based on the synthesized silico-alumino-phosphates.

Abstract: For the demodulation of modulated carrier signals (AS) supplied to the cordless telecommunication apparatus, a data comparator (1212) is used in the cordless information transmission, especially a DECT-specific information transmission, which data comparator is supplied for this purpose with a reference signal (RS) generated by integration of the carrier signal (AS) at an input (E2) for the purpose of demodulating the carrier signal (AS). Since, according to the DECT transmission convention, two identical bit values of a synchronization word (S-Bw) must also be detected in addition to the demodulation, a decision threshold (ES) of the reference signal (RS) is changed by as error value (dES). In the cordless telecommunication apparatus, a compensation arrangement (16, 19, 142) which compensates for this error value (dES) is therefore additionally provided.

Abstract: In the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, a method and apparatus (70) are disclosed for optimizing the controlled positive pressure to minimize the flow of air from a flow generator (86) while still ensuring that flow limitation in the patient's airway doest not occur. In particular, the invention relates to a breathing device (70) and method of use to adjust a controlled positive pressure to the airway of a patient by detecting flow limitation from analysis of an inspiratory flow waveform. Once the presence of flow limitation has been analyzed the system determines an action to take for adjustment of the controlled positive pressure. The pressure setting is raised, lowered or maintained depending on whether flow limitation has been detected and on the previous actions taken by the system. The preferred breathing apparatus (70) consists of a flow generator (86), a flow sensor (72), an analog to digital converter (78), a microprocessor (80), and a pressure controller (82, 84), a patient supply hose (74), a nasal fitting, and, optionally, a pressure transducer (90). Using the method of the present invention, the microprocessor (80) adjusts the air pressure in the patient supply hose (74) when flow limitation is detected in the airway of the patient.
